Striker Claudio Pizarro insists he will have no problem adapting to the style of football in the Barclays Premier League after joining Chelsea from Bayern Munich.The 28-year-old has joined the Blues on a free transfer from the Bundesliga giants after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
Bayern’s signing of Italy striker Luca Toni from Fiorentina this week left Pizarro further down the pecking order at the Allianz Arena.Despite being a regular substitute for Bayern - behind Roy Makaay, Lukas Podolski and now Toni - Pizarro’s availability prompted interest from a number of top clubs.
And the Peruvian had no qualms about joining Chelsea - or playing as a lone striker when called upon by Stamford Bridge boss Jose Mourinho.The forward told Chelsea TV: “Yes also, to be a football player you have to be ready for all of that and I am. I’m one metre 86 centimetres, in Germany it’s a very tough league, and in England as well.I think it’s very important for me to win some titles and I have the chance here to win them.The most important thing is the Champions League which I was looking to win with Bayern, but we didn’t have the chance.I think now we have a good team, a good trainer and the chance to win it.I had some interesting offers, but the most important thing was that I talked to the coach, I talked to the people here, and they were very interested. We have many chances to win titles here and that’s what I want.”
Pizarro added: “I get used very fast to playing with different kinds of players. I did it at Bayern and I don’t think it will be a problem now.”
